Vianode’s synthetic anode graphite is the most efficient solution to reduce the Electric Vehicles battery emissions.
Transportation accounts for 20% of global CO₂ emissions, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable solutions in the automotive sector. Electric vehicles (EVs) are a pivotal part of this transition, but the environmental impact of their batteries must be addressed to achieve true sustainability. The Norwegian company Vianode is doing just that by focusing on a major emission driver in the EV battery: Anode graphite.
Enabling green mobility with synthetic anode graphite
Anode graphite, a critical component of lithium-ion batteries, represents a significant portion of the battery’s weight and emissions. Vianode, a pioneering company in sustainable battery materials, has developed advanced anode graphite that dramatically reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 90% compared to conventionally produced materials. By focusing on this key component, Vianode offers a viable path to significantly lower the carbon footprint of EV batteries.
Vianode’s innovative approach to anode graphite production
Vianode’s proprietary technology enables the production of sustainable, high performance anode graphite. The Norwegian company leverages closed furnaces powered by green energy, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint of its products. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study has validated that Vianode’s anode graphite emits only 1.9 kilograms of CO₂ per kilogram of material, a stark contrast to the up to 30 kilograms emitted by traditional synthetic graphite.

Vianode is committed to further innovation, aiming to reduce this figure to 1.0 kg CO₂ per kg of graphite by 2030. This ambitious target reflects Vianode’s dedication to setting new standards in the battery materials industry and its role in supporting the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
High performance, and sustainable
Vianode’s high-performance anode graphite not only enhances the efficiency and range of EV batteries but does so in a manner that is environmentally responsible. By providing a product that combines superior performance with a significantly lower environmental impact, Vianode is positioned as a key player in the sustainable battery materials market. The company is scaling up production to meet the growing demand, with plans to establish large-scale plants in both North America and Europe. This strategic expansion ensures that Vianode can produce its innovative materials close to its customers, ensuring a resilient supply chain. With its commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge technology, Vianode is set to make a lasting impact on the global transition to electric mobility.
